OUTDOORS ON LOCATION WORKSHOPS
Some of our most popular workshops are based outdoors in and around our local area here in Northumberland.

The workshops are based in the studio which we use just in case the weather turns against us. With the weather on our side, we will travel out each day to paint locations such as Druridge Bay, Warkworth Castle, The River Coquet and various barns and little hideaways in the immediate area.

Other Workshops
We are often asked does Charlie ever do workshops anywhere else other than in the north.  Most of the workshops that he does apart from at home, tend to be for art societies and so consequently are not open to the public. But this is a list of workshops elsewhere where anyone can come and join in.

Video Downloads only £5 each

The more and  more of these two DVD`s that we sell the more people seem to appreciate them.

They really are televisual quality, I suppose that's because they were filmed by the TV crew and directed by the TV director who did so many of the Tyne Tees TV programmes with me. Packed full of information the getting started DVD will really give you a quick boost and help you handle lots of tips and techniques.

The seascapes, well what more can I say, Northumbria's beautiful coastline namely Druridge Bay painted out on location plus back to the studio for more tips and techniques. Beautiful film quality good instruction all for £10 each (DVD version)

Remember when you buy the download version you can upgrade to the DVD version.
